Chapter 9: Hunger

Carrying the looted things, Lu Chao cautiously walked back along the road he had come.

Those wild wolves don't make too much noise when hunting, in order to avoid being attacked by wild wolves, Lu Chao not only has to observe the situation in front and left and right when walking, but also observes the situation behind him from time to time.

If he realizes that the situation is not right, he will immediately throw down everything he is carrying and quickly climb the nearest tree.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Chao returned home safely.

Yaya is still asleep.

"Why have you been out for so long, I thought you had an accident!"

"No, I was very careful, and I found it safe to walk a little further. Look what I've brought back to you? Fresh vegetables and fruits! ”

"You're amazing! Where did you find these things? ”

"About a few hundred meters away, there is also a family, similar to ours, but their house did not have an anti-theft net installed, and it was attacked by wild wolves. After I made sure it was safe inside, I went in and searched for it, and there were plenty of supplies inside, and I had to make a few more trips to move them all back. ”

"And people like us here?"

"Yes, I guess it's not just us and them, there are probably many people who have been kidnapped nearby, and I don't know what mysterious force did all this."

"You're not going out today, are you? I steamed the rice. ”

"I'm going out again, and you're just done with the meal."

"Do you want to go again?"

"Well, it's still early today, go over again, they have a bread machine and bread crumbs at home, I'll move those things over first, and make bread for Yaya to eat at night."

"How many hundred meters? It's too far, it's a long walk in the past, right? ”

"Don't worry, I'm prepared enough, even if I encounter those two wolves, I can get back safely. You have to remember that no matter what happens, you don't go out to look for me, you must stay at home and protect Yaya. ”

"Okay, then I'll steam the rice first, stir-fry two more dishes, and you can have lunch when you come back."

"Well, I haven't eaten fragrant rice for a long time, I must eat a big bowl when I come back, and Yaya must also eat a big bowl." Lu Chao fantasized about the happy life of a family of three while steaming the rice.

It would be nice if Ellie was here.

If she's there, you can help him take care of Yaya.

Now every time Lu Chao goes out, he is very worried that something will happen to the maid at home.

He really didn't want to leave her alone at home, but he had to.

After Lu Chao steamed the rice, he went to the room to look at the sleeping girl, gritted his teeth and went out again.

……

An hour had passed, and the rice in the rice cooker had already been steamed.

Lu Chao did not come back.

Yaya woke up.

She leaned over the fence and peered out the bedroom door.

It's quiet outside.

Daddy doesn't seem to be there.

The girl lay back on the bed bored, played with the socks on her feet, and after a while, she ripped them off her feet and began to play with her feet.

Another half hour passed.

Lu Chao still didn't come back.

Yaya is hungry.

She cried by the guardrail, threw her two socks under the bed, tried to get her father's attention, and then came to hug her and feed her.

However, Dad never came.

The girl was getting hungrier and hungrier, and her cries were getting louder and louder.

Dad still didn't show up.

The girl was tired of crying, and she was so hungry that she had no strength, so she fell back to bed with her fingers in her mouth, and after a while she fell into a deep sleep again.

A few hours passed.

Yaya woke up again.

I woke up hungry.

The diaper was already soaking wet, and the clothes on her body were also soaked.

The girl was hungry and unwell, and she threw herself on the fence and cried loudly.

What about Dad? Why haven't you come yet?

Yaya got a little angry, stamped her feet, and continued to cry louder.

It's already dark outside.

Dad still didn't come.

Yaya lay down again.

She eats her little fingers and fantasizes that she is sucking her mother's milk.

Or the bottle that Daddy brought over.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep again.

……

Shortly after dawn, the security door sounded.

Someone was using a key to open the door, carefully trying not to make a sound, unscrewing it round and round.

After a while, the security door was opened.

A man appeared outside the door, carrying two bags of bread crumbs and a few other things in his left hand and a bread maker in his right hand.

It's Lu Chao.

After closing the door, Lu Chao put down the things in his hand, went to the room lightly to take a look, and found that the girl was sleeping soundly on the bed and breathing normally, so he took a long breath, staggered back to the sofa bed, and sat down.

His body was shaking all the time.

After resting for a while, after relieving himself, Lu Chao walked over and turned on the rice cooker, and came out with a large bowl of rice from it, and after a while, he devoured it all.

From noon yesterday to now, he has been hungry for more than ten hours.

And he hasn't eaten rice for more than a month, and now he finds out that the rice is so fragrant that he can pick up several large bowls even if he doesn't eat vegetables.

After eating the rice, he finally had some strength in his body.

After Lu Chao went out again yesterday, he went to the house and got a bread maker, bread crumbs, butter, eggs, milk powder, and a can of beer, ready to come back and have a good drink.

I didn't expect to meet the two wild wolves on the way back.

Lu Chao hurriedly threw the things away and climbed to a nearby tree. The two wolves kept circling around the tree, and several times they tried to jump up and climb up, but they were beaten down with sticks.

But the two wolves were very patient, and kept watch from noon yesterday until about three o'clock in the morning, probably because they were hungry, and then left the tree and went elsewhere.

The woods were pitch black at night, and Lu Chao didn't know if they had gone far, and even if they went down the tree, they couldn't find the mark they made to go home, so they never got down the tree.

It wasn't until dawn just now, when he could barely see everything around him clearly, that Lu Chao climbed down from the tree and returned home with the things he had thrown down earlier.

Probably hearing the movement outside, the girl woke up, leaned on the fence and looked out of the bedroom door, and then let out a cry.

Lu Chao hurriedly soaked the milk powder and fed it to Yaya.

Yaya was obviously extremely hungry, and drank a bottle of milk in less than ten seconds in one breath.

Lu Chao hurriedly brewed another bottle and fed it to her.

"Dad's fault, you were hungry for more than ten hours." Seeing Yaya hungry like this, Lu Chao's heart was broken.

In addition to being hungry, Yaya's clothes were all wet.

After Lu Chao fed her, he put down the bathtub in the bathroom, took hot water from the water heater, and then brought Yaya over to give her a bath.

Yaya, who had drunk two bottles of milk, had obviously forgotten about yesterday's events, played with water excitedly, and then smiled happily at Lu Chao.

As long as her dad is around, she is happy.
